'Raucous' seagulls: Parisians' new noisy neighbours
PARIS - Parisians need no longer go to the beach, in the time-honored August tradition, to hear the plaintive cries of seagulls, but the birds' growing cacophony is ruffling many feathers in the French capital.Despite being a two-hour drive from the sea, Paris has attracted a growing number of gulls jostling with pigeons for a perch on the city's rooftops."In the spring we used to hear sparrows, it was the sound of dawn and was very pleasant. But now it's the raucous cries of these bothersome gulls!" said Anne Castro, a psychiatrist in the hilly Belleville district in the city's northeast, one of the birds' favorite nesting places.Rodolphe Ghelfi, a security guard in his fifties who also lives in the neighborhood, also feels tormented by the cawing."When...

Morton told the Thomson Reuters Foundation on Wednesday, a day after citizens voiced concerns to the City Council.The situation began in May when Manhattan Beach neighbors reported Kathryn Kidd for flouting local laws by using her home for...
